Of all the non-answers for the healing questions these are the most non-answers ever lol.they might as well have just said "Yo just let us cook, it'll be ok"
the full Encounter Visual Clarity & Addons - yes we killed addons - wehere doing nothing useful about the non useful ui parts enjoy! really no change to mythic plus for all this? yeah season 1 in midnight is dead hopeful these clues people fix or give up on this by season 2. this is no flying in legion ALL OVER AGAIN
Oh can't wait until all of this blows up on their dev teams faces at release M+ and raids content at Midnight, it should be entertaining to watch them been stubborn and them trying to do a 180 to fix things up for the amount of player bailing because of this nonsense that no one asked for or even complain about.Most of the players cheering about this changes are people that most likely don't use addons and will not use them regardless. Look at how they prune affixes on M+ content since Dragonflight because there was no need for them anymore and people still fail more than ever on that content.
That "solution" for incoming spell indicators is laughable. Unless there is literally a single caster in a HUGE pull that is never happening.
Healers are completely doomed healing high keys as Blizz will NOT keep their promises to make it more "clear" and understanding , gl pushing for rating , gl pugging first few weeks till people learn the new dungeons...its goind bad, really bad.
Having done some healing on Alpha, the mechanics are not an issue. The only issues I have seen so far are relative to damage from mobs and healing. And even then the healing portion, having already been tuned once, has more to do with understanding the fight and which spell to use for that fight (or part of the fight) versus trying to just spam heal. With that require higher coordination at higher keys? Probably, but all of the achievements and rewards will be still be very accessible.
War Mode is a labor of love? That is stupid. Give me war mode abilities in PVE. Shouldn't have to enter a faction war to use emerald communion or illidari's grasp. So incredibly stupid that it's locked to that.
Nothing about M+ Solo Queue? Seeya then, I vowed im done with the LFG tool, this game acts its age.. ancient.
Spell indication - and buff tracking - is killing healing even in PvE for most people I know.We're not gonna put up with this when we know how it can be, and other MMOs either don't have the difficulty to justify this crap or let us track things with more notable effects built into their frames.I won't be touching my healers until I can actually see wtf is going on.
My "cognitive load" is irrelevant if you don't even give us a way to see buffs/debuffs easily on the base UI, or customize them in the slightest... I've been trying to get used to using the default raid frames over the past week, but I'm missing so much because I simply can't read those tiny icons at a glance. Nevermind the lack of emphasis on dispellable debuffs.
I do not understand blizzard's position on this is the slightest. Why are they happy to show DPS who is being targeted via the medium most relevant to them (the mob's cast bars) but won't show healers the same information on the medium most visible to us (our party frames)?We don't "feel it's necessary". It's not something we feel forced to adopt against our will. We like it. We've found ways to get information that feels like a missing piece of what should be available by default. Being able to see incoming damage on frames IS what reduces cognitive load. Trying to parse through a bunch of moving nameplates is distracting and painful. Blizzard says they want to be clearer and more communicative with their base UI about what is happening, but if they stick with this decision they sure as hell aren't following their own words in regards to healers.Ask DPS how they'd feel not being able to see who mobs are casting on. The response will not be positive. Stop subjecting healers to this double standard.
so many healers are going to just quit the game if raid frames arent updated to be fully customizable
for 20 years they had dog poo on UI and spell clarity and you think they gonna clean all that up in midnight? they dont even have dps meter in alphaall these will be done in last titan exp
not one question about the future of healing add ons....
